Not the Substitute Bride

Chapter 08's

"If the pain is at home, instead of going out to trouble people. Why don't you just die, life's useless." Shaka said so rudely that he made Maheera exhale intermittently.

"And I am desiring my death" said Maheera in a soft, helpless voice, he had not eaten rice all day.

"Yes, you should have replaced Kinara who slept in the ground. Not him!"

"Are your words more cruel than this, ma'am?" Ask Maheera pilu. "If there is still, please phrase it now!"

"I never thought of you as a wife, Kinara should have been my bride instead of you. Maheera, you're just a replacement for the late Kinara, you're useless!"

"I'm not the substitute bride of my late brother. If it's not Nara's trust, there's no way I'll marry you."

"Maheera, why don't you just die?" Shaka jerricks emotions. The more he thought about Kinara, the deeper his hatred for Maheera became.

Fighting was useless, Maheera could only cry helplessly. The look of hateful sharp eyes was clearly drawn from the eyes of Shaka's eagle.

"I'm not forbidding you from marrying again, ma'am. Kak Nara's death was not my fault, she hid her illness from us. Why am I wrong?"

"Your parents just consider yourself a son of a bitch. Then how does someone else suddenly feel your misfortune? Maheera, don't ever think I'll love you as much as I love Kinara. Don't you ever think of falling in love with me. Throw away all your delusions!"

"I will never fall in love with you or anyone else. You don't fear me, I'll never fall in love with you, I know your love is only for sister Nara. We're just strangers who were forced to unite, so don't teach me even if I'm not in school. I'm just a stupid woman, mas." Say Maheera with the rest of her energy.

The girl wakes up and pushes Shaka out of her room. Floods of tears are common in Maheera.

"Your faith is the suffering spread in my life, brother. Why would you do this to me?" Lirih Maheera who is currently still sobbing bitterly.

In her room, right now Shaka could only hug a photo of Kinara. It has been a few months that the future wife died, but Shaka has not been able to forget it.

The next day, Maheera who was still sick tried to wake up. Ordering food through an online app, she waited outside the house while sitting with a pale face.

While Shaka had been going to the office since morning, as if there was no pity and pity, Shaka let Maheera get sick alone at home.

"Pak Banu's been looking for you since yesterday." Ayman said. Ayman is Shaka's personal assistant who takes care of all her work.

"Let it go, I'm lazy to explain anything right now!"

"Don't be like that, even if you don't love Maheera, you should give her reassurance. Don't blame someone for someone else's death."

"You've never been in my position how? My heart hurts, Ayman!"

"In this position, Maheera is much more ill. Her parents didn't want her, her brother died and you treated her like this. Don't let him commit suicide."

Shaka just kept quiet, this man decided to go to the bar alone. Not drunk, just a drink to calm his feelings for a while.

At seven o'clock Shaka just got home, now, currently there is a Mr. Banu and Diana sitting in the living room waiting for him.So also Maheera who is currently sitting down and he has resigned what will happen next.

Plaque....... Mr. Banu slapped Shaka in the face.

"Yes like Shaka, pah. Why did papah slap Shaka hah?" Sergey Diana was more defensive of Shaka.

"Because I never loved Maheera. You know for yourself that our marriage is only a trust." Shaka said, open your voice.

"But it's not like this, Shaka. Look Maheera, why don't you feel sorry for her?"

"Pity for Maheera, the son of the unlucky bearer who deserves to die?" Diana spoke out loudly.

"If you want me dead, why was I born?" Maheera screams with her sobs. "Why do you always be rude to me when I'm your son too?"

"Because you're not my son!" Diana replied firmly making Maheera's eyes widen as well as Pak Banu and Shaka. "Looks like you should know who you really are, Maheera. Just so you know how well you deserve to be treated!"

"Well, not mah!" Mr. Banu pulled his wife's hand.

"I'm not your son?" Maheera asked as she wiped her tears. "I mean I wasn't born from my womb?"

Shaka retreated slightly back as Maheera stepped forward.

"You.....!" Diana pointed at Maheera.

"Well, don't mah. Papah please mah!" Mr. Banu knelt under his wife's feet, begging Diana not to unlock the secret they had been guarding.

"Shut up.. shut up!" Sent Diana. "For twenty-four years I've kept all these secrets, it's time your bastard son knew who he was."

"Well, papah please don't say it!" Once again, Mr. Banu begged. He pulled his wife's hand, but Diana pushed him away.

"Originally you know, Maheera. You're just the son of a woman who destroys people's households. Your mother has taken my husband until he's pregnant with you. Your mother ruined my happiness, but when she died your mother left you to me. I hate you so much, Maheera. You're just my husband's cheating son, you're a useless bastard and an unlucky carrier." Diana tells Maheera who she really is.

Maheera who heard this could only sit languidly on the floor with a flat facial expression.

"Well, is that all true?" Maheera asked coldly.

Shaka was silent, he did not expect that the woman he married had such great suffering.

"I'm sorry papah, Maheera. Sorry papah!" Said Mr. Banu hugging Maheera.

"Remember in your heart, Maheera. I am not your mother, the woman has died carrying her sins. You should have died with your mother, not even Kinara who died. You and your mama are both unlucky bearers."

Destroyed was the heart of Maheera, this girl could only cry even when Mr. Banu hugged her with a million words sorry he did not care anymore.

"Just kill you, Maheera!" Diana's screams rattled tears. "I hate you so much, I'm sick of you. You're just my husband's trash, you and your mama are destroyers. Just die, Maheera."

Diana sits limp back in memory of the pain in the past from Mr. Banu's affair with a woman who gave birth to Maheera.

So cruel is the world to Maheera, the child who does not know anything must bear the karma of both parents. With a gontai step limped, Maheera came out of Shaka's house. Walking without direction with tears while Shaka currently helps Mr. Banu take care of his wife who is unconscious.
